1940 Map of Elbert
USGS Topo · Published 1956About this map
Elbert and Eastonville serve as the primary hubs in this high-plains landscape where the edge of the Black Forest meets the drainage basins of the Palmer Divide. The map illustrates a transitional rural economy defined by cattle ranching and a dense network of country schools, including Cedar Grove Sch, Sidney Sch, and Elton Sch, which anchored the scattered homesteads of the era. To the south, the Chicago Rock Island & Pacific railroad cuts through the terrain near the H-2 Ranch and Ayer Ranch, providing a vital link for the region's agricultural output.
